  • Continues to progress

    While speaking with reporters at the NFL's Annual League Meeting, coach John Harbaugh relayed Monday that Bateman (foot) is "healthy and going to be running in three weeks."

    Analysis: The wideout, who last saw game action Week 8 of the 2022 regular season, continues to move past surgery to address a Lisfranc foot injury, with Harbaugh expressing confidence that Bateman will be "ready to roll" and "healthier than ever" as the coming season approaches. Once the 2021 first-rounder retakes the field, he'll reclaim his starting role in a Baltimore wideout corps that also includes Devin Duvernay (foot) and free-agent newcomer Nelson Agholor. At this stage, however, it remains to…read more

  • Making progress with foot injury

    Coach John Harbaugh indicated Thursday that Bateman (foot) should be able to run at full speed "really soon," Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Bateman, who is bouncing back from surgery to address a Lisfranc foot injury, last saw game action Week 8 of the 2022 regular season, but it sounds like the 2021 first-rounder will be ready to go once the Ravens next take the field. Prior to being placed on IR, Bateman caught 15 of his 28 targets for 285 yards and two TDs in six games. Provided he avoids any setbacks ahead of the 2023 campaign, the 6-foot-1, 197-pounder should reclaim his starting slot in what figures to be a retooled Baltimore…read more

  • Officially on IR

    The Ravens have placed Bateman (foot) on injured reserve, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With Bateman out for the season with a Lisfranc foot injury that will be surgically repaired, the Ravens will proceed with a wideout corps now led by Devin Duvernay that also includes Demarcus Robinson (groin), James Proche, Tylan Wallace, DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor.

  • Done for the season

    Head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that Bateman will undergo season-ending surgery to address a Lisfranc injury to his left foot, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Bateman done for the season, Devin Duvernay now profiles as the Ravens' top wideout, with Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace in the mix for added snaps in the coming weeks. Bateman finishes his sophomore campaign with15 receptions for 285 yards and two touchdowns on 28 targets across six appearances.

  • Slated to miss time

    Bateman is in line to miss time with a foot injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The foot injury that Bateman suffered this past Thursday against the Buccaneers ended up being more serious than initially thought, with coach John Harbaugh noting Monday that "It looks like it's going to be a few weeks" for the wideout. In Bateman's looming absence, added snaps will be available for Demarcus Robinson and James Proche alongside Devin Duvernay.

  • Aggravates foot injury

    Bateman aggravated his foot injury in Thursday's 27-22 win over the Buccaneers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Bateman was questionable leading up to the Ravens' Week 8 matchup with a foot injury that has nagged him for the past three weeks. He managed to suit up but was minimally involved before being formally ruled out midway through the third quarter. It's unclear if Bateman may be forced to miss additional time, though he'll have nine days until Baltimore's Week 9 matchup against the Saints.

  • Out after playing minimally

    Bateman was ruled out of Thursday's game against the Buccaneers with a foot injury.

    Analysis: Bateman was questionable heading into Thursday's game after practicing fully Wednesday. However, he was on the field minimally throughout the first half and was targeted only once prior to being ruled out midway through the third quarter. The Ravens are also without Mark Andrews (shoulder), which has left Demarcus Robinson, Isaiah Likely, Devin Duvernay and James Proche as the team's primary pass catchers.

    Bateman (foot) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Bateman, who was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice before being listed as a full participant Wednesday, approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll be available Thursday and is in line to see his share of Week 8 targets from QB Lamar Jackson alongside fellow WR Devin Duvernay. In his return to action from a two-game absence in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns, Bateman started and was on the field for 36 of a possible 64 snaps en route to catching four of his…read more

  • Expected to play Thursday

    Bateman (foot) is expected to play Thursday night against the Buccaneers, barring any pregame setbacks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for TE Mark Andrews (knee) and RB Gus Edwards (knee), with the trio having been listed as questionable for the contest by the Ravens. Confirmation of the three player's Week 8 statuses is slated to arrive when inactives are posted ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Hopeful to play Thursday

    Bateman (foot) is hopeful that he'll be able to play Thursday night against the Buccaneers, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Though listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report, the Ravens listed Bateman as questionable for the contest. Official confirmation of the wideout's Week 8 status will arrive once the team's inactives are posted ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but if available, Bateman would be in line to continue to start alongside fellow WR Devin Duvernay.

  • Questionable, despite full practice

    Bateman (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bateman went from not listed on the injury report Monday to a non-participant Tuesday to a full practice participation Wednesday. That final development puts him on the right side of the questionable tag, with confirmation on his status to arrive about 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Thursday. With tight end Mark Andrews (knee) also listed as questionable after not practicing at all this week, Bateman could be tasked with a larger-than-usual share of Baltimore's targets against a…read more

  • DNP due to foot injury

    Bateman didn't practice Tuesday due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: Bateman was sidelined Weeks 5 and 6 as a result of a foot issue, so the Ravens may have simply given him a maintenance day in the wake of hauling in four of five targets for 42 yards in his return to action this past Sunday against the Browns. Wednesday's practice report will clarify his status heading into Thursday's road matchup with the Buccaneers.

  • Not spotted at practice Tuesday

    Bateman wasn't spotted during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reprots.

    Analysis: The specifics of Bateman's absence are not yet clear, but it's a concerning development with the Ravens on a short week. The wideout returned to action in Week 7 following a two-game absence due to a foot injury and caught four of five targets for 42 yards -- all team highs. Bateman's availability for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers should become clearer when Baltimore releases its first official injury report of the week.

  • Four catches in win

    Bateman (foot) brought in four of five targets for 42 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bateman led the Ravens in receptions in his return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury, and he also shared the team lead in receiving yardage with Devin Duvernay. Now that the second-year wideout seems to be back to full health, Bateman will aim to make a bigger impact in a Week 8 Thursday night road showdown against the Buccaneers.

  • Back in action Sunday

    Bateman (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: A left foot sprain kept Bateman sidelined for the Ravens' last two games, but the 2021 first-rounder is back in the mix Sunday and, barring any setbacks, should return to a key role in the team's passing attack alongside top tight end Mark Andrews. Prior to sustaining his injury in Week 4, Bateman had caught 11 passes for 243 yards and two TDs on 22 targets, and as long as he remains available, the 22-year-old should log steady enough opportunities in the coming weeks to merit fantasy lineup…read more

    Bateman (foot) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Bateman and Mark Andrews (knee), both officially listed as questionable, are expected to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup against Cleveland. Bateman is coming off back-to-back absences due to a left foot sprain. The 2021 first-round pick's status still may come down to the wire ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, as Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports that the wideout said Friday the final decision will be left to coach John Harbaugh.

  • Status in question for Sunday

    Bateman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: After missing the Ravens' last two contests due to a left foot sprain, Bateman was able to get back on the field this week and maintain limited showings at practice, setting him up for his first appearance since Week 4. Having said that, he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that his availability this weekend is a "coach Harbs" decision, referring to John Harbaugh. As a result, Bateman's status likely won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Limited Thursday

    Bateman (foot) was limited in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Bateman's Week 7 status is unsettled after he missed the last two weeks with his foot sprain, but even two limited practices is a somewhat encouraging development given where he started from. So long as he maintains at least limited participation in Friday's practice, he could have a good shot to return to the field against Cleveland on Sunday.

  • Returns to limited practice

    Bateman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Bateman was back on the practice field for the first time since suffering a left foot sprain Week 4, giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Browns. A return to full participation Thursday or Friday would put him on track to play this weekend.

    Bateman (foot) appears to be practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman was nearing a return after missing two games with a foot sprain. Bateman hasn't practiced since suffering the injury Week 4, and his return Wednesday gives him a shot to be ready for a home game against Cleveland this Sunday.

  • Close to return, per coach

    Coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday that Bateman has a sprained left foot and deemed the wide receiver close to returning, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Harabugh clarified the nature of the foot injury that has kept Bateman out of Baltimore's last two games. It sounds like there's optimism that absence could draw to a close Sunday against the Browns, though Bateman's participation (or lack thereof) in practice likely will provide a better approximation of his chances of suiting up Week 7.

  • Ruled out for Week 6

    Bateman (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: With Bateman slated to be out of action for the second straight game, look for Devin Duvernay to continue to lead the Ravens' wideout corps in Week 6. Beyond Duvernay, the Ravens have Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace on hand at receiver, but each of the three saw exactly two targets while Bateman sat out last week's win over the Bengals.

  • Misses another practice

    Bateman (foot) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bateman is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Giants. If he's ruled out for the second straight week, Devin Duvernay would continue to lead the Ravens' wideout corps, with Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace also in the mix for added snaps versus New York.

    Bateman (foot) isn't practicing Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bateman will sit out for the second consecutive day and will be missing his fifth consecutive practice overall while he continues to tend to the left foot injury that forced him out late in the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Bills. He'll almost certainly need to get back on the field in some capacity Friday to have a legitimate shot at returning to action Sunday against the Giants. If Bateman can't go, the Ravens would be more likely to spread his vacated targets among their tight ends and running…read more

    Analysis: Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he hoped to have Bateman back this Sunday against the Giants, but it isn't a great sign that the wideout still hasn't practiced since injuring his foot in a Week 4 loss to Buffalo. The Ravens relied on tight end Mark Andrews and wideout Devin Duvernay more heavily with Bateman out of the lineup for the team's 19-17 win over Cincinnati in Week 5, while receivers Demarcus Robinson, Tylan Wallace and James Proche all played more snaps than usual but didn't…read more

    Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman (foot) "might be able to come back" Week 6 versus the Giants, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bateman's ankle injury kept him from suiting up for Sunday night's win over the Bengals, but it looks like there's a chance his absence is limited to one game. The second-year pro's participation level on Wednesday's first practice report of the week will reveal more information about his health. It will be a positive sign if Bateman is able to practice on at least a limited basis to start the week.

    Bateman (foot) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: During the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Bills, Bateman remained on the sideline for a good portion of the second half due to a foot injury, and after failing to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, he'll miss his first game since Week 5 of last season. With the second-year pro unavailable Sunday, Baltimore will turn to Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson, Tylan Wallace and James Proche at wide receiver, while tight end Mark Andrews is a huge favorite to lead the team in targets.…read more

    Analysis: With Bateman also having missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, it doesn't seem especially likely that he'll be able to suit up Sunday night against the Bengals. Friday's upcoming injury report should help clarify Bateman's Week 5 status, but if he's unavailable this weekend, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson would be in line to lead the Ravens' WR corps.

    Analysis: With Bateman having now missed both of the Ravens' first two Week 5 practices, his status is firmly in question for Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Bateman isn't a full participant in Friday's practice session, he'll most likely carry a designation into the weekend, if the Ravens don't rule him out in advance. Devin Duvernay is the only other Ravens wideout that has drawn at least five targets in a game this season, so a potential Bateman absence in Week 5 could result in more field time…read more

  • Misses practice with foot injury

    Bateman (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bateman had a rough Week 4, dropping three passes and finishing with only 17 yards before exiting with a foot injury in the fourth quarter of a 23-20 loss to the Bills. Head coach John Harbaugh called Bateman day-to-day on Monday, but even if his foot injury isn't a long-term issue, the wideout could still miss time. The Ravens don't have much depth behind him, with Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson getting most of the receiver snaps that haven't gone to Bateman.

  • Nursing foot injury

    Coach Jon Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman's fourth-quarter absence during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills was due to a foot injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Harbaugh called Bateman day-to-day and downplayed the severity of the issue, per Shaffer, so it appears that the second-year pro still has a chance of suiting up Week 5 versus the Bengals. The foot injury provides some context to Bateman's three catches (on six targets) for 17 yards, a season-low for him in terms of receiving yardage. Wednesday's first official injury report of the week will provide an update on Bateman's status.

  • Three grabs in loss

    Bateman secured three of six targets for 17 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bateman was one of the victims fantasy-wise of a lackluster showing through the air for Lamar Jackson. The second-year wideout's receiving yardage total was a season low, but he'll aim to play a much more prominent role in a Week 5 Sunday night AFC North showdown against the Bengals at home.

  • Two catches in win

    Bateman brought in two of four targets for 59 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: After making noise with a pair of touchdowns in the first two weeks, Bateman matched his Week 1 line sans the score in the high-scoring Week 3 win. The second-year wideout profiles as a significant component in the air attack in his role as the team's No. 1 receiver, and he's likely to become more of a week-to-week factor as his first full season as a starter unfolds. Bateman will look to play an even more prominent role in what should be a wire-to-wire battle with the Bills at home in Week 4.

  • Slated to play Sunday

    Coach John Harbaugh indicated that Bateman, who missed practice Friday for personal reasons, will play Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Harbaugh also noted that Devin Duvernay (concussion) has been cleared to play in the contest, which sets the stage for the Ravens' Week 3 wideout corps to be led by Bateman, Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson. Through his first two games this season, Bateman has recorded a 6-167-2 stat line on 12 targets, with his steady involvement in Baltimore's passing attack giving the 2021 first-rounder weekly fantasy utility.

    Bateman (undisclosed) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bateman practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, so his initial absence from the session makes his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Added clarity on that front should arrive no later than the release of the Ravens' final Week 3 injury report later Friday.

  • Another long touchdown in loss

    Bateman brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 42-38 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bateman found the end zone for the second time in as many games to open the season when he got wide open for a 75-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. He ultimately led Baltimore in receiving yardage on the afternoon, and he heads into a Week 3 road battle versus the Patriots with plenty of momentum.

  • Torches Jets for 55-yard TD

    Bateman caught two of five targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: After watching Devin Duvernay score touchdowns of 25 and 17 yards, Bateman got behind the Jets secondary for a 55-yard touchdown in the third. Baltimore traded away Marquise Brown in the offseason and should consequently give both Duvernay and Bateman plenty of opportunities deep downfield. In Week 2, Bateman will take on shutdown cornerback Xavien Howard and the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow WRs Devin Duvernay, James Proche, (undisclosed) and Tylan Wallace, with the Ravens' coaching staff using the team's exhibition finale to evaluate depth options ahead of roster cut-downs. Bateman's next game action will occur in Week 1 against the Jets, with the 2021 first-rounder poised to work as Baltimore's top wideout this coming season.

    Analysis: The same applies to Devin Duvernay and James Proche, so the Ravens' projected top three wideouts are slated to sit this one out, which will allow the coaching staff to focus on evaluating the team's depth options at the wide receiver position during Baltimore's exhibition opener.

  • Back at practice

    Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bateman thus appears past the undisclosed minor injury that caused him to miss practice Friday. Now that he's back on the field with his teammates, the 2021 first-rounder is in line to step back in as the Ravens' presumed No. 1 wideout ahead of Week 1 action.

  • Misses practice Friday

    Bateman, who is dealing with undisclosed minor injury, didn't practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That said, coach John Harbaugh downplayed Bateman's issue, noting that the wideout probably could have practiced Friday. It's possible the Bateman could also miss Saturday's session for precautionary reasons, so for now, consider Baltimore's No. 1 wide receiver day-to-day.

  • All over the field at camp

    Bateman is making a good impression at training camp and has cut down on the drops that plagued him during the offseason program, Kyle Barber of the Ravens' official website reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Bateman has been active at all levels of the field after largely seeing short-to-intermediate targets as a rookie. He'll likely see more deep looks -- and more targets overall -- now that Marquise Brown isn't with the Ravens, and it'll also help to have a healthy Lamar Jackson after Bateman spent much of his rookie year catching passes from weak-armed backups. The 2021 first-round pick is in good position to break out, with the Ravens clearly depending on him and TE Mark…read more

  • Could see added opportunities

    Following the trade of Marquise Brown to the Cardinals, Bateman currently heads a Baltimore wideout corps that also includes Devin Duvernay, James Proche and Tylan Wallace, ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Brown had requested a trade, and by dealing him to Arizona, the Ravens now have a need at wideout that they figure to address in Day 2 or 3 of the NFL Draft, via free agency, or both. As things stand, however, Bateman -- who Baltimore took 27th overall last year -- seems poised for an uptick in opportunity in 2022, following a rookie campaign in which he put together a 46/515/1 stat line over the course of 12 contests.

  • Solid rookie season

    Bateman finished the season with 46 catches for 515 yards and a touchdown on 68 targets in 12 games.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round selection started the season on injured reserve due to a core-muscle injury that required surgery and didn't debut until Week 6 against the Chargers. From there, Bateman ranked third on the team in target share (15.7 percent), behind only Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews. He had one 100-yard performance on the season (Week 14 versus Cleveland) and caught his lone touchdown of the season two weeks later against Cincinnati. It's difficult to put a definitive grade on…read more

  • Draws 10 targets

    Bateman caught seven passes for 58 yards on 10 targets against the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bateman's 10 targets led the Ravens, ahead of Marquise Brown's eight targets. Neither wideout was able to get much going, though Bateman's box score outdid Brown's (three receptions for 28 yards). Quarterback Tyler Huntley can't strike downfield or the sidelines as well as Lamar Jackson (ankle), so in that sense, Bateman and Brown were at a disadvantage to tight end Mark Andrews. It's not clear whether Jackson might be able to play against the Steelers in Week 18.

  • Snares touchdown reception

    Bateman caught four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie didn't have the easiest playing conditions with third-string quarterback Josh Johnson at the helm of the offense, but he managed to put together a respectable box score for his fantasy investors all the same. Now with his first pro touchdown logged, Bateman will look to build on his momentum against the Rams in Week 17.

  • Few targets despite high snap count

    Bateman caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: This was a big dropoff for Bateman after he went for a career-high 103 yards Week 14 against the Browns. Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown accounted for 27 of the team's 39 targets, which left very few opportunities for the Ravens' other pass catchers. The silver lining is that Bateman logged a career high in snap percentage at 93 percent, so even though the rookie didn't draw many targets, he still was a fixture in the offense overall. The Ravens play at Cincinnati in Week 16, and if Lamar…read more

  • Cracks century mark in loss

    Bateman caught seven of eight targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Lamar Jackson (ankle) went down early in this contest, so backup Tyler Huntley took over and produced well from the pocket. The change of styles under center resulted in the first-round wideout's best game of the season. Perhaps this outing can kickstart the talented rookie's campaign -- regardless of who is under center against the Packers next Sunday -- as he produced just 301 yards on 25 receptions with no touchdowns in his previous seven contests.

    Bateman was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Bateman saw a healthy dose of snaps (42 percent) but was not heavily involved in the target rotation. Sunday marked his fewest targets in any game since he debuted in Week 6 and his second week in a row with fewer than five targets. The Ravens' offense has struggled as a whole of late, failing to score more than 20 points in four straight games.

  • Modest production Sunday

    Bateman caught all four of his targets for 31 yards against the Browns in Week 12.

    Analysis: Baltimore's offense was not in sync in Lamar Jackson's return, and Bateman's production suffered as a result. He caught everything thrown his way and was effective on a per-target basis, but Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews accounted for nearly two-thirds of the targets, which left very little to go around for the other Ravens pass-catchers. If Jackson bounces back Sunday against Pittsburgh, Bateman should also be in line for a bounceback. It's worth noting, however, that Bateman's 45 percent…read more

  • Catches three passes in win

    Bateman caught three of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Bateman played 70 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps with Marquise Brown (thigh) sidelined. The rookie wideout failed to capitalize on his increased playing time as the entire offense was ineffective with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley starting in place of Lamar Jackson (illness). Bateman has yet to put together a true breakout performance in his first season, but the 21-year-old will have a chance to bounce back when the Ravens host the Browns in Week 12.

In the process, Bateman should continue to see his share of looks in the Baltimore passing offense after having logged eight targets in each of his last two games, resulting in 11 catches for 132 yards in that span .

    Analysis: The rookie shed his questionable tag to check in second on the afternoon in receptions and receiving yardage for the Ravens. Bateman's level of involvement over his first three pro games has been encouraging, as factoring in Sunday's eight looks, he's garnered 20 targets overall.

Brown and tight end Mark Andrews remain the top two options in Baltimore's passing attack, but Bateman has established himself as the next man in the pecking order just two games into his NFL career.

    Analysis: Though Harbaugh isn't measuring Bateman's recovery from a groin injury in terms of months, a week-to-week timeline would leave the rookie's availability uncertain for Baltimore's season opener Sept. 13 in Las Vegas. At the very least, the rookie first-round pick is expected to miss Baltimore's first two preseason games, and an appearance in the the team's exhibition finale Aug. 28 at Washington may also be unrealistic.

  • Impresses during minicamp

    Bateman impressed during mandatory minicamp, and there's a belief that he will be a Day 1 contributor as a rookie, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The first-rounder reportedly did not look "like a rookie" during Baltimore's recent minicamp and has drawn praise from teammates and coaches alike. Bateman's path to immediate impact was in some question when the Ravens selected him, given that the team already has Marquise Brown in one spot and signed Sammy Watkins during the offseason. However, it looks like Bateman is playing his way into a role. His development will be among the biggest storylines out of training camp next month.

  • Misses practice with stomach bug

    Bateman didn't take part in the Ravens' minicamp practice Wednesday due to a stomach illness, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bateman apparently fell ill overnight, prompting the Ravens to hold him out of Wednesday's workout.

  • Returns to practice, scores TD

    Bateman (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick was removed from practice a week earlier with an undisclosed injury. The brief absence shouldn't have any impact on his bid to earn a key role, as Bateman quickly made it back on the practice field, and he even had a touchdown catch in red-zone drills Wednesday. With Marquise Brown seemingly locked in for one starting spot at wide receiver, Bateman's competition for playing time mostly comes from Sammy Watkins and Miles Boykin, though 2020 third-round pick Devin…read more

  • Dealing with muscle soreness

    Coach Jim Harbaugh indicated after Wednesday's practice that Bateman exited early due to muscle soreness, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Bateman left practice 40 minutes into the session, but he at least returned to the sideline later on. The fact that he's not dealing with an injury is a good sign, but Bateman's reps could still be limited in future OTA practices.

  • Inks rookie contract

    Bateman signed his four-year rookie contract with the Ravens on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Bateman's four-year, $12.6 million rookie deal includes a $6.5 million signing bonus. Having selected Bateman in the first round of April's draft, at No. 27 overall, the Ravens will have to make a decision about his fifth-year option come 2024. In the more immediate future, Bateman's draft capital and skill set should give him a near immediate starting opportunity alongside Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins. The Minnesota standout's ability to create separation off the line of scrimmage should…read more
